What started as a great idea 💡 to play ultimate football, ended up  as a great opportunity to see how well we can adapt on the fly! It was an intimate group of 6 PAX at The Ricky Bobby this beautiful morning!

Here’s how it went down:

As always the music was blasting for a little ambiance ITG 💪🏽 Pretty easy warm up with the almost Mandatory side straddle hops, followed by some Don Q’s, Gravel pickers, then Imperial walkers. We did a few stretches and then went into the 1st improvised exercise.

Burp & Merks: start with a burpee and increase the merk at the bottom by 1 rep in til you get to 10. So 2nd burpee 2 Merks at the bottom… so on and so forth… once you get to the 10th burpee there is 10 Merks at the bottom. Since we are F3 men we had to pyramid everything back down to 1… in case your math isn’t that good that 100 push-ups total inside all those burpees 😮‍💨

Next came a suicide type work out that included 15 burpees at the 1st light pole, 10 Merks @ the 2nd, 20 @ 3rd and 30 big boys @ 4th.

A Partner Dora variation came next that included 3 more exercise. (Mike Tyson’s, double crunches, & Squats) Each round one Partner exercise as the other lunge walked to the next light pole and back.

We then took it to the football field. After picking up the cones I set up earlier for the football game 🥴 we left 4 cones out to play a little game called “when animals attack!” So we set up a square “kill zone” that everyone had to stay inside of. One person was designated as the animal. I went 1st since it was my Q. The remaining Pax went to the opposite corner as me. We all assumed the bear crawl position and played a little game of tag. (Bear crawl only). When someone was tagged the round started over and the person tagged became the animals. It was fun, entertaining, and it sucked all at the same time.

After a few rounds we wondered over to the play ground to get into some pull ups and dips. With about 3/4 min remaining we gathered near the flag and ended with some Sallies 💪🏽.  Pledge, announcement, and prayer closed it all! 🙏🏼 Not too bad for making it all up on the fly lol
